Conversation in the pub tonight was more along the lines of that they wouldnt turn up for a home game even if it wasnt on tv because 1) its too expensive, 2) Would rather sit in pub all aft as cannot be arsed.

I think a lot of it comes from the fact he is an Aussie as well,

RUBBISH. (well apart from Jim, but does anybody take him seriously ??)

I'm really not that arsed if he signed a new deal or not, but the positive factor I look at is that he could easily have moved on to better terms elsewhere, but he chose to remain part of all the good work Mark Hughes team are putting in.

What sites stream live Rovers games?

none that can be listed here, as they are all illegal

Sky own the rights to English premier league football within England. Foreign channels also have rights to the matches but only have the right to show them in their own country. So therefore the likes of Al-Jazeera can’t show live games here, by law. As for selling rights to pubs, that’s what sky do. Whatever games they haven’t got selected therefore shouldn’t be on in local pubs.

AFAIK

The only law on this is that live football cannot be shown between 1430 and 1715 on saturdays with a full match programme. Hence why SKY dont show anything.

The copyright issues of beaming back live football from Europe into the UK appear to be a civil matter.

Official text says he's signed a new 4 year contract.

Might get a testimonial at this rate

Excellent news.

BUT I would imagine Capt Kayos has already sent his season ticket back

1-1

Do you know something he doesn't?

I imagine he knows quite a lot of things that he doesnt.

As I said HERE it was never said that he was an ex chairman or that the forum had gone.

Excellent news.. Vinjay will be crying into his lunch now

You should congratulate Williams at your next BRISA meeting whenever that

is. What a waste of money for those supporters who bought their memberships.

Con merchants.

Conggratulate him for what? Well not for the fact he's sold another star

player and has let players run down to the last year of their contracts.

Their's an article some years back sayying the club's policy was to sign

players to long term contracts not let them run down. Another thing that's

changed at this club.

So congratulate Williams for the "achivement" of taking the crown from Ellis

for worst chairman in this league. God I hope it's this club saved next.

2-0 Rovers

"Acuna faded badly after a promising start and his lack of speed may ultimately count against him when Hughes decides whether to offer him a contract or not." Citizen

What were everyone's thoughts on him in the game?

Had a few good touches and put a lot of effort in getting the ball back. Problem was it was because he kept giving it away, he is no Tugay. I would doubt if has done enough in that game to be seen again, but all depends on what he has been showing in training and perhaps if he plays today.

It would be interesting to have a trial match or two without the drummers, just to see how much the chanting improves or if it does kill the atmosphere.

Maybe this is something BRISA could try and arrange.

It was that very suggestion from myself and Scotty which got the reply from the ex drummer. He never said he was the ex-ff chairman btw

Paul as in the Paul off this message board ?? I never knew that

No - Paul McCarthy, latterly of the Beatles.

Ah rite.. I heard his wife was after coming to the UEFA games, but cant make both legs.

In case you didn't notice Jan, they already have.

A lot stopped when the price was half of what it is now. Its not just cheap tickets that will bring fans back to Rovers, although its undoubtably a factor. Theres a lot of fans who simply "cant be arsed", but would rather give another excuse.

Could somone please mock that up in letters nine feet high and put it on the wall of John Williams' office!

He might have to move that Dartboard with your picture on it in that case.

Perhaps Rovers should also be given some credit where its due for a change.

I renewed my season ticket at LAST YEARS prices because of the early bird scheme, and have spread the cost of the ticket over 10 months. That means I don't have to spend 72 quid in a week to get to the first two home games.

taken from a Sheff U site about the trouble in Rotterdam at the weekend

Then we heard about the troubles outside. It seems that 200 Feyenoord idiots ( I won't call them supporters) had stormed the Sparta supporters club within the stadium. They attacked both Blades and Sparta fans. I've read Sparta forums today and many Sparta fans were disgusted with the Feyenoord thugs. It seems they also attacked 2 Blades fans who were sat outside a cafe having a drink and stabbed at least one of them. I cannot tell you how angry I am with these scum! They had nothing to do with the game, they had no need to be there, and they ruined what had been a perfectly wonderful atmosphere!

Consequently, all the Blades fans were herded onto buses and bussed to whichever town in the area that we wanted to go to.We had to go back to the Hague and we were escorted the whole way by riot vans in front and behind us and 6 ME(armed riot police)inside the bus. Now I'm sure this may have been quite scary for some children there, but it was quite impressive by the Dutch Police that they put our safety first before any financial costs and made sure we got out of the city safe and sound.Even when we got to the Hague there were another 3 riot vans full of police waiting for us and 4 Motorcycle cops, 2 mounted police and 5 police cars. Just to make sure that we weren't going to be ambushed as soon as they let us off the bus. All amazing and surreal stuff!

Seeing as us unpriveleged unworthy don't really get to hear about what goes on in these meetings, maybe a FF member can confirm whether or not it has been touched upon.

VERY briefly touched upon but glossed over because the drummer is on it. I don't think theres been a Fans Forum this year, so the chances are that the clubs lost interest in it.

Pics from Aachen now HERE

Aachen player and Savage Booked

Team Lineup

the other, a drunk who will most likely have forgotten what he told him or probably spoke to the wrong player.

To be fair, he had been drinking heavily. Not as heavily as JPW though who managed to a) Leave the BRFCS flag on platform 9 at Koln station and Scuff a penalty miles wide causing the entire Aachen team to laugh a lot.

Jay Roberts looks to be a good signing

I blame SteB, they sat in the home end.

STOOD actually

There were a few fans sat in the main stand behind the Rovers team, including Sergio Peters mum. I'll upload a few pics tomorrow.

Apparently Neill told Orvil that he would "hopefully" sign a new contract. Emerton wasnt involved at all, neither was Andy Todd.

. DOuglas was not one of Souness' signings either he was already here I think.

Correct. One of the better products of our academy in recent years.

I've got a Fusion FVR145 from Argos.. Its twin tuner which means you can record 2 things at once (i've not tried it as theres never 2 things worth atching on at the same time) or watch something else whilst recording.

Its done me well, but it could use a "series link" option.

Not far off = – McEveley

Er.. hate to make you look daft but McEveleys played a few first team games. Only the one under Hughes against Liverpool where he made a bit of a cock up.
